Commander 2013 Deck choice
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on June 9, 2016, 6:27 p.m. by PistonGolem
I am a new player to commander. I began looking around, and only two pre built decks can fit my budget. The 
one, and the 
one. I could use some opinions on which one would be better. Thank you!
The naya one is fun if your new to the game, but the Jund one is much better and more fun.

Marath is more fun if you're new, Prossh is better, but Marath has more possibility. If you keep the deck and keep tuning it, it will become ridiculously powerful.

Well, I have played a bit of other formats, but not commander. So by "if you're new" do you mean new to Commander or magic in general (no pun intended).

I meant new to Commander. It's a very different format, requires a different mindset.

Both are good decks and can be tuned to be ridiculously powerful and fast. If you like to go straight for the face and/or 1vs1 mainly, I'd go .
If you are going to be playing mainly Multi-player I'd go as I feel Marath is a bit more flexible.

prossh can be more competitive than marath and has lots of different ways to build him, but its all dependant on what you normally play.

Have both a prossh deck and a maarth deck. They are both fun. My Prossh deck tends to bring more hate my way, as it has more instant win conditions and runs stax effects.

I bought them both and think the one is heaps better. With Marath I kept sitting there not having enough mana for my cards, having cards that just didn't matter, or having cards that were legit awful.
The one also has Shattergang Brothers who is another super solid commander. You can tweak the deck to play control with SGB or just go aggro with Prossh.

Neither contain blue, so both are bad.
In all seriousness, I like the prossh one better. Plus, it has an infinite combo in it to start. With Primal Vigor, Tooth and Claw, and Deathbringer Thoctar.

Prossh can be pretty broken, frankly. Marath, Will of the Wild used to be cool until they errata'd his text to include "X can't be 0" after each mode. D:
Because somehow nobody caught that you could endlessly make 0/0 creatures.

zandl without the errata, Marath would legitimately be the most broken commander there is. Ever heard of Intangible Virtue?

I didn't even realize there was an errata or that all those 0/0s would be 2/2s with Elish Norn..

Well, even besides anthem effects, there are too many combos with it:
Infinite life with Essence Warden;
draw your whole deck for free with Fecundity;
infinitely large creature with Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit;
unblockable infinite Champion of Lambholt;
infinite damage with Purphoros, God of the Forge and Impact Tremors;
gain control of all other creatures and leave the opponents with nothing with Gaea's Anthem and Confusion in the Ranks;
endless Lightning Bolts with Omnath, Locus of Rage;
infinite mana with Mana Echoes;
sacrifice all your lands with Burning Sands?;

They gave him errata about 10 days after those decks landed, when people were like "wait wut".

I've only played with the
one so I would recommend that one.
